The Cincinnati Reds call their home field
The Great American Ball Park, and it lives up to its name. The place has a nice vibe and the fans support their team. I attended the game last Saturday since I was in the vicinity. Okay, I drove seven hours out of my way, but, hey, let's don't get picky.
Above: There is a riverboat replica in centerfield that is quite cool looking.

Above: I had a fan shoot this image of me with a sculpture of one of the best ballplayers of all-time: Johnny Bench. I tried to give him some baseball tips, but he wouldn't listen -- he's just a statue, after all.

Hey Dave! So nice to hear from you again; and I love this post. A seven-hour drive is "in the vicinity of"? You are indeed a fan. That is one very cool stadium! The riverboat is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAnd re tipping off Mr. Bench, well, some people are air heads and just won't listen; others have really thick heads so words just bounce off of them!
Ah, the Cards fan on enemy soil.
ReplyDeleteI noticed in the Bench picture that you weren't wearing any Redbird garb. Smooth move Grasshopper, smooth move.
Only 7 hours..no big deal LOL. Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope you stopped by Jungle Jim's while you were there ...
